Electric-Drive Vehicles:  Moving Into the Future

 

The New York Power Authority has helped make New York State a pacesetter in electric-drive and clean transportation technologies. Working with our customers, we have helped place more than 1,200 electric and hybrid-electric vehicles into service. Together these vehicles have traveled more than 11 million miles. The clean transportation programs and partnerships we're helping to establish, help improve air quality and reduce dependence on foreign oil.

NYPA is helping introduce the next generation of clean-fueled vehicle-- the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).

The Power Authority is the nation’s largest supplier of electricity for mass transit, powering the subway and commuter trains of metropolitan New York. Today, NYPA is playing a significant role in these efforts to help New York State achieve a cleaner, greener future.

This vision stretches beyond New York’s borders, as well. The New York Power Authority is an active member of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), an international consortium of more than 100 energy producers, automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, state and local governments and others working to promote electric transportation.
